Lean Mode Color Code Not Your Usual Food Diary

The ColorCode Mode team reinvents the humble food diary to be quick, easy, and fun to use. A Color Code and Goals page at the beginning of every week gives the option of setting small, achievable daily goals.

From Jen and Alexis Luhrs, creators of the popular Streaming Colors Fitness Journal monthly "healthy habit-forming calendar" (since 2004), and of Lean Mode, Color Code-Not Your Usual Food Diary (2008), comes this handy weekly fitness planner featuring a week of color-in modules on each page with additional lined space to write in daily food and workout details or appointments. As with the Streaming Colors monthly calendar version, the main idea is to color in the daily modules with each day's positive actions, such as exercising, drinking more water, eating more veggies, or having a junk-food-free day. Color helps remind, reward and motivate you to practice a healthy action long enough for it to become a habit you hardly have to think about (like taking a shower in the morning.) Healthy habits feel comfortable and normal-unlike torturous diets and exercise regimens you can't wait to quit-and are the key to better fitness and a healthier lifestyle! Since color is the key, this journal features an energizing change of background color each month throughout its 12-month, perfect-bound 80 pages (full-color, laminated paperback cover, 8.5 x 8.5 inches square). In addition to 52 weekly planner pages, it includes helpful information on getting started, setting goals and rewards, rating your health and fitness before and after, pages for coloring in special achievements or milestones, monthly tips for beginning and advanced exercising, and the occasional motivational saying. Includes a Food Diary Worksheet and pages for recording info on your favorite foods and activities. To help you stay on track and improve all year long, there is a color key you customize at the start of each month with the healthy actions you wish to focus on, along with a goal and reward area. Using highlighters, you color in your positive actions each day. Coloring is an instant reward for healthy choices. Patterns of color indicate your progress even if physical results aren't yet showing. A lack of color is a reminder and motivator to get back on track. Over time, a build-up of color is a reminder of your ability to take control of your habits. The Streaming Colors Fitness Journal Weekly Planner was created and authored by Jen and Alexis Luhrs, a mom/daughter publishing/creative team that has had a lifelong devotion to healthy eating habits and preventive health. Mom, Jennifer, is a health/medical copywriter/creative director who worked with the Stanford Prevention Research Center to develop the HealthBuzz web site that was co-branded with msnbc.com in 1997. She wrote the content of the original Streaming Colors Fitness Journal based on established principles of health behavior change, and Dr. Wes Alles, Director of the Health Improvement Program at Stanford University, reviewed the journal's written content to ensure that it is sound. Calling on their backgrounds in Industrial Design and Architecture, respectively, Jennifer and Alexis created the journal's color-coded daily tracking system to be intuitive and adaptable, but most of all, easy and fun to use. Studies show that journaling is the key to long term weight loss success. The Streaming Colors Fitness Journal combines the power of journaling with the fun of coloring. It's the lifestyle-changing journal. For the spiral-bound version of the journal, or to learn more, visit www.streamingcolors.com or www.ColorCodeMode.com

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Being a Lazy Genius isn't about doing more or doing less. It’s about doing what matters to you. “I could not be more excited about this book.”—Jenna Fischer, actor and cohost of the Office Ladies podcast The chorus of “shoulds” is loud. You should enjoy the moment, dream big, have it all, get up before the sun, track your water consumption, go on date nights, and be the best. Or maybe you should ignore what people think, live on dry shampoo, be a negligent PTA mom, have a dirty house, and claim your hot mess like a badge of honor. It’s so easy to feel overwhelmed by the mixed messages of what it means to live well. Kendra Adachi, the creator of the Lazy Genius movement, invites you to live well by your own definition and equips you to be a genius about what matters and lazy about what doesn’t. Everything from your morning routine to napping without guilt falls into place with Kendra’s thirteen Lazy Genius principles, including: • Decide once • Start small • Ask the Magic Question • Go in the right order • Schedule rest Discover a better way to approach your relationships, work, and piles of mail. Be who you are without the complication of everyone else’s “shoulds.” Do what matters, skip the rest, and be a person again.

Holistic nutritionist and highly-regarded blogger Sarah Britton presents a refreshing, straight-forward approach to balancing mind, body, and spirit through a diet made up of whole foods. Sarah Britton's approach to plant-based cuisine is about satisfaction--foods that satiate on a physical, emotional, and spiritual level. Based on her knowledge of nutrition and her love of cooking, Sarah Britton crafts recipes made from organic vegetables, fruits, whole grains, beans, lentils, nuts, and seeds. She explains how a diet based on whole foods allows the body to regulate itself, eliminating the need to count calories. My New Roots draws on the enormous appeal of Sarah Britton's blog, which strikes the perfect balance between healthy and delicious food. She is a "whole food lover," a cook who makes simple accessible plant-based meals that are a pleasure to eat and a joy to make. This book takes its cues from the rhythms of the earth, showcasing 100 seasonal recipes. Sarah simmers thinly sliced celery root until it mimics pasta for Butternut Squash Lasagna, and whips up easy raw chocolate to make homemade chocolate-nut butter candy cups. Her recipes are not about sacrifice, deprivation, or labels--they are about enjoying delicious food that's also good for you.

National Book Award Finalist: “This man’s ideas may be the most influential, not to say controversial, of the second half of the twentieth century.”—Columbus Dispatch At the heart of this classic, seminal book is Julian Jaynes's still-controversial thesis that human consciousness did not begin far back in animal evolution but instead is a learned process that came about only three thousand years ago and is still developing. The implications of this revolutionary scientific paradigm extend into virtually every aspect of our psychology, our history and culture, our religion—and indeed our future. “Don’t be put off by the academic title of Julian Jaynes’s The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind. Its prose is always lucid and often lyrical…he unfolds his case with the utmost intellectual rigor.”—The New York Times “When Julian Jaynes . . . speculates that until late in the twentieth millennium BC men had no consciousness but were automatically obeying the voices of the gods, we are astounded but compelled to follow this remarkable thesis.”—John Updike, The New Yorker “He is as startling as Freud was in The Interpretation of Dreams, and Jaynes is equally as adept at forcing a new view of known human behavior.”—American Journal of Psychiatry

From the creator of the popular website Ask a Manager and New York’s work-advice columnist comes a witty, practical guide to 200 difficult professional conversations—featuring all-new advice! There’s a reason Alison Green has been called “the Dear Abby of the work world.” Ten years as a workplace-advice columnist have taught her that people avoid awkward conversations in the office because they simply don’t know what to say. Thankfully, Green does—and in this incredibly helpful book, she tackles the tough discussions you may need to have during your career. You’ll learn what to say when • coworkers push their work on you—then take credit for it • you accidentally trash-talk someone in an email then hit “reply all” • you’re being micromanaged—or not being managed at all • you catch a colleague in a lie • your boss seems unhappy with your work • your cubemate’s loud speakerphone is making you homicidal • you got drunk at the holiday party Praise for Ask a Manager “A must-read for anyone who works . . . [Alison Green’s] advice boils down to the idea that you should be professional (even when others are not) and that communicating in a straightforward manner with candor and kindness will get you far, no matter where you work.”—Booklist (starred review) “The author’s friendly, warm, no-nonsense writing is a pleasure to read, and her advice can be widely applied to relationships in all areas of readers’ lives. Ideal for anyone new to the job market or new to management, or anyone hoping to improve their work experience.”—Library Journal (starred review) “I am a huge fan of Alison Green’s Ask a Manager column. This book is even better. It teaches us how to deal with many of the most vexing big and little problems in our workplaces—and to do so with grace, confidence, and a sense of humor.”—Robert Sutton, Stanford professor and author of The No Asshole Rule and The Asshole Survival Guide “Ask a Manager is the ultimate playbook for navigating the traditional workforce in a diplomatic but firm way.”—Erin Lowry, author of Broke Millennial: Stop Scraping By and Get Your Financial Life Together
